4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 15ef70e286176165d28b0b8a969b422561a68dfc ] lock_sock() must be used in process context to be race-free with other lock_sock() callers, for example, tipc_release(). Otherwise using the spinlock directly can't serialize a parallel tipc_release(). As it is blocking, we have to hold the sock refcnt before rhashtable_walk_stop() and release it after rhashtable_walk_start().
